Spin: Since joining the Thunder, Waiters has only made one appearance on the injury report with an ankle injury, which forced a missed practice but no DNP to date. Thus, he doesn't appear in danger of sitting out Wednesday against the Mavericks. In 15 games in March, he averaged 12.7 points (on 41 percent shooting), 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 0.9 three-pointers in 31 minutes.]]>Tue, 31 Mar 2015 10:42:13 PDTPlayer Newshttp://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?campaign=rss&source=GamesLeagueFeed&playerId=1013&leagueId=53021http://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?playerId=1013#53021.8.2015.155.139976DeMarcus Cousins of the Sacramento Kings: Cousins will likely continue to sit out some of the Kings' nine remaining games, and there's a chance he could sit out the majority of their road games (five), ESPN reports. "At home, I'd like to go in and (let Cousins play) every game. But on the road, I might experiment a little bit more." coach George Karl said. Spin: The Kings have nine more games this season. Their next game is on the road Wednesday against the Rockets, and then they have two games at home to finish this week of fantasy action. Over the final week and a half of the regular season, the Kings will then have six games starting next Tuesday, with four of those games coming on the road, which could mean Cousins ends up sitting out five of the Kings' next nine games. The production that Cousins should offer in the Kings' two home games this week makes him worth hanging on to in most leagues for the remainder of this week, but if your league is still going next week, and the news is the same, Cousins will be droppable at that time for one-year leagues.]]>Tue, 31 Mar 2015 09:17:13 PDTPlayer Newshttp://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?campaign=rss&source=GamesLeagueFeed&playerId=740&leagueId=53021http://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?playerId=740#53021.8.2015.155.139964Thaddeus Young of the Brooklyn Nets: Young (knee) will play Tuesday against the Pacers, Rod Boone of Newsday reports. Spin: Young, who has missed the last two games with a hyperextended knee, was upgraded from doubtful to questionable Monday. He did not know whether he'd be inserted back into the starting lineup or be used off the bench. Young averaged 13.7 points and 5.2 rebounds per game during the month of March.]]>Tue, 31 Mar 2015 08:32:13 PDTPlayer Newshttp://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?campaign=rss&source=GamesLeagueFeed&playerId=440&leagueId=53021http://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?playerId=440#53021.8.2015.155.139961HANS dropped K.

Spin: Knight returned to action Sunday after missing eight games with a sprained ankle, and he struggled mightily, going 1-of-10 from the floor in 22 minutes.

Sports reports. Spin: Cousins has hinted toward needing a rest and in sitting out Monday's game against the Grizzlies, Cousins will avoid facing the bruising combo of Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph. As a result, Jason Thompson could start at center for the Kings on Monday, with Reggie Evans representing a more rugged option for coach George Karl. Nonetheless, expect a rested Cousins to return to the lineup Wednesday versus Houston.]]>Mon, 30 Mar 2015 11:27:13 PDTPlayer Newshttp://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?campaign=rss&source=GamesLeagueFeed&playerId=740&leagueId=53021http://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?playerId=740#53021.8.2015.154.139889Thaddeus Young of the Brooklyn Nets: Young (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game versus the Pacers, The Record reports. Spin: Young has missed two contests in a row due to a hyperextended left knee, but at least his status has been upgraded from doubtful to questionable. Since arriving in Brooklyn at the trade deadline, he's averaged 13.6 points (on 50 percent shooting), 5.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 steals, and 0.9 three-pointers in 28 minutes.

Spin: Favors was listed as questionable heading in to Monday, but his participation in morning shootaround is a bit encouraging. However, the team should provide an update at some point prior to the opening tip-off confirming whether or not he will suit up.]]>Mon, 30 Mar 2015 09:42:13 PDTPlayer Newshttp://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?campaign=rss&source=GamesLeagueFeed&playerId=739&leagueId=53021http://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?playerId=739#53021.8.2015.154.139868Rajon Rondo of the Dallas Mavericks: Rondo notched a double-double Sunday against the Pacers, posting 17 points, seven rebounds, 10 assists, two steals, and one block in 38 minutes of action. Spin: Rondo had a slow start with the Mavericks, but it's clear that he's finally beginning to ramp up his production. He's averaging 9.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 1.2 steals over the last five games, and should be owned in a wide variety of leagues at this point.]]>Mon, 30 Mar 2015 05:22:13 PDTPlayer Newshttp://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?campaign=rss&source=GamesLeagueFeed&playerId=377&leagueId=53021http://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?playerId=377#53021.8.2015.154.139848Brandon Knight of the Phoenix Suns: Knight (ankle) may not play in Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Craig Grialou of 98.7 FM reports. Spin: Knight struggled in his return to the court Sunday against the Thunder, putting up three points on 1-of-10 shooting over 22 minutes off the bench. Suns coach Jeff Hornacek said afterward that Knight will likely be held out for the ninth time in 10 games, with Phoenix playing the second half of a back-to-back Monday against the Trail Blazers. The team may have rushed Knight back a bit too soon, and while an aggressive approach makes sense under the circumstances, the Suns are dangerously close to falling out of the playoff chase.]]>Sun, 29 Mar 2015 22:27:13 PDTPlayer Newshttp://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?campaign=rss&source=GamesLeagueFeed&playerId=858&leagueId=53021http://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?playerId=858#53021.8.2015.153.139834Brandon Knight of the Phoenix Suns: Knight (ankle) will come off the bench in Sunday's game against the Thunder, Paul Coro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Spin: Knight is finally returning from an eight-game absence, and while his minutes will likely be limited, the report suggests that he'll get into the game early on. Prior to the injury, Knight was often getting minutes in the high-30s or low-40s. He may come off the bench beyond Sunday, as the Suns have played pretty well with Marcus Morris in the starting lineup.]]>Sun, 29 Mar 2015 17:52:13 PDTPlayer Newshttp://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?campaign=rss&source=GamesLeagueFeed&playerId=858&leagueId=53021http://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?playerId=858#53021.8.2015.153.139823Derrick Favors of the Utah Jazz: Favors (back) is listed as questionable for the Jazz' game Monday against the Timberwolves, Aaron Falk of the Salt Lake Tribune reports. Spin: Favors has been dealing with back spasms recently, which forced him to watch the Jazz' previous game from the bench. If he cannot go Monday, Trevor Booker is the favorite to get another start at the power forward spot.]]>Sun, 29 Mar 2015 14:42:13 PDTPlayer Newshttp://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?campaign=rss&source=GamesLeagueFeed&playerId=739&leagueId=53021http://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?playerId=739#53021.8.2015.153.139802DeMarcus Cousins of the Sacramento Kings: Cousins could be rested a couple games down the final stretch of the NBA season, Jason Jones of The Sacramento Bee reports. Spin: Cousins had expressed a desire to get a few nights off previously, but head coach George Karl was not particularly accommodating. Karl says he now wants to experiment with some different lineups, but it's more likely that the Kings would like to experiment with a higher draft pick. Fantasy owners will have to check Cousins' status before every game he plays for the rest of the way since his rest days may be unpredictable.]]>Sun, 29 Mar 2015 13:12:13 PDTPlayer Newshttp://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?campaign=rss&source=GamesLeagueFeed&playerId=740&leagueId=53021http://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?playerId=740#53021.8.2015.153.139788Jamal Crawford of the Los Angeles Clippers: Crawford (calf) has a tentative return date of April 7, Arash Markazi of ESPN reports. Spin: This return date could easily change, and it's unlikely that he would come back prior that day. With that said, it's safe to drop Crawford from your team if your fantasy playoffs end before the end of the NBA season, if you haven't already. Even if the playoffs go until the end of the NBA season, dropping Crawford now would be a smart move if there's someone on the waiver wire who can help you win now.]]>Sun, 29 Mar 2015 13:02:13 PDTPlayer Newshttp://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?campaign=rss&source=GamesLeagueFeed&playerId=29&leagueId=53021http://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?playerId=29#53021.8.2015.153.139787Brandon Knight of the Phoenix Suns: Knight (ankle) said he has his explosiveness back, the Arizona Republic reports. Spin: Knight has missed the last eight games after spraining his ankle, but he was looking spry at Saturday's practice, and he said he finally has his full explosiveness back. "I had a lot of good pushes," Knight said of Saturday's workout. "I finally felt like I could do some things that I haven't been able to do, which is why I knew I wasn't ready to play yet. That was a big difference from (Friday's) practice." The Suns haven't ruled Knight in or out of Sunday's matchup with the Thunder, though at this point it looks like Knight has a good chance to play. Knight, himself, offered little insight into the situation saying only that he's "getting closer and closer."]]>Sun, 29 Mar 2015 10:42:13 PDTPlayer Newshttp://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?campaign=rss&source=GamesLeagueFeed&playerId=858&leagueId=53021http://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?playerId=858#53021.8.2015.153.139773Taj Gibson of the Chicago Bulls: Gibson scored 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-2 FT) to go along with nine rebounds and one block in 24 minutes Saturday against the Knicks. Spin: This was Gibson's best game since returning from injury, but it did come in a blowout victory where none of the Bulls starters played more than 28 minutes. The emergence of Nikola Mirotic may limit Gibson's value down the stretch as he's not likely to play as many minutes off the bench as he has in the past.]]>Sun, 29 Mar 2015 09:27:13 PDTPlayer Newshttp://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?campaign=rss&source=GamesLeagueFeed&playerId=629&leagueId=53021http://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?playerId=629#53021.8.2015.153.139772Dion Waiters of the Oklahoma City Thunder: Waiters scored three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 FT) with two rebounds and two assists in the loss to the Jazz on Sunday. Spin: Waiters was left on the bench in the fourth quarter in favor of Anthony Morrow as the Thunder tried to rally back in the fourth quarter. We're willing to write this off as one bad game since he's managed to reach double digits in scoring the four games prior, including a 23-point game against the Lakers and a 26-point performance against the Hawks in the past ten days. Waiters is a decent scoring option down the stretch in 12-team leagues.]]>Sun, 29 Mar 2015 06:17:13 PDTPlayer Newshttp://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?campaign=rss&source=GamesLeagueFeed&playerId=1013&leagueId=53021http://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?playerId=1013#53021.8.2015.153.139749Derrick Favors of the Utah Jazz: Favors (back spasms) is out for Saturday's game against the Thunder. Spin: Favors left Friday's game with back spasms after playing just 19 minutes and was not able to return. He tried to give it a go before Saturday's game but couldn't do it. His next chance to return will be Monday against the Timberwolves. The Jazz have four games next week, making Favors a tough call on whether or not to put in weekly lineups.]]>Sat, 28 Mar 2015 17:07:13 PDTPlayer Newshttp://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?campaign=rss&source=GamesLeagueFeed&playerId=739&leagueId=53021http://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?playerId=739#53021.8.2015.152.139730Derrick Favors of the Utah Jazz: Favors (back) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against Oklahoma City, Aaron Falk of the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

He added three rebounds, seven assists, and one steals in 38 minutes of action. Spin: Bledsoe is averaging 18.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 2.2 steals over the last five games -- closely resembling his season averages. Owners can just take his poor performance Friday with a grain of salt, as the young guard has been effective all season long.]]>Fri, 27 Mar 2015 21:52:13 PDTPlayer Newshttp://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?campaign=rss&source=GamesLeagueFeed&playerId=720&leagueId=53021http://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?playerId=720#53021.8.2015.151.139691Derrick Favors of the Utah Jazz: Favors exited Friday's game against the Nuggets in the fourth quarter with back spasms and will not return, the Salt Lake Tribune reports. Spin: Favors was having a slow game prior to his exit with just seven points in 19 minutes, and it's likely the sore back was at least part of the cause, as Favors had tallied a double-double in three straight games entering Friday's contest. With the Jazz playing again Saturday, the back spasms could potentially cost Favors more action.]]>Fri, 27 Mar 2015 20:12:13 PDTPlayer Newshttp://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?campaign=rss&source=GamesLeagueFeed&playerId=739&leagueId=53021http://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?playerId=739#53021.8.2015.151.139654John Wall of the Washington Wizards: Wall dominated Friday against the Hornets, posting 32 points, nine rebounds, six assists, and two steals in 48 minutes of action. Spin: Wall is averaging 21.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.2 three-pointers made over the last five games. While his assists have taken a dip from his season averages, his increased scoring has made up for it.

He added three blocks. Spin: Cousins has a pair of 30-point games in his last three and has three straight double-doubles.

"It's hard not playing," he said. "But I just look at it as each day is a little closer to coming back." Spin: On Thursday, Crawford relayed that his bruised right calf isn't as "tender" as it was in past weeks, when the calf was drained in order to increase the rate of healing. While he has started shooting again, he has yet to resume running, which likely spurred coach Doc Rivers to state recently that Crawford was "nowhere near playing."

Spin: Favors has been on fire lately, averaging 19.2 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks over the last five games. Although he has been struggling from the line (66 percent on 5.8 attempts per game), he's still worth starting in all leagues.]]>Thu, 26 Mar 2015 02:32:13 PDTPlayer Newshttp://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?campaign=rss&source=GamesLeagueFeed&playerId=739&leagueId=53021http://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?playerId=739#53021.8.2015.150.139483Randy Foye of the Denver Nuggets: Foye started at shooting guard and scored five points (2-7 FG, 1-6 3Pt) with three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the 76ers.

Look for a strong finish to the season.]]>Wed, 25 Mar 2015 22:42:13 PDTPlayer Newshttp://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?campaign=rss&source=GamesLeagueFeed&playerId=720&leagueId=53021http://games.espn.go.com/fba/resources/playernews?playerId=720#53021.8.2015.149.139474DeMarcus Cousins of the Sacramento Kings: Cousins scored 24 points (11-19 FG, 2-3 FT) with 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Wednesday's win against the Suns. Spin: Cousins was questionable coming into this game, but showed no signs of a calf injury.
